What was looked for, and what came back

What the first search did return, on the other questions

The card's claim is about what the United States sends, and that question came back empty. These questions did return material. It is reproduced word for word so nothing found is lost, and it is context rather than a position on U.S. weapons or money. Em dashes are rendered as hyphens to satisfy house style; no wording is changed.

### Characterization of the conflict * On October 12, 2023, following the Hamas attack on Israel, Marx announced on social media that he and his ministry were traveling to Israel to deliver relief and support to victims of the violence. * On November 1, 2023, Marx appeared on CBN’s *700 Club Interactive* to discuss his ongoing humanitarian trip to Israel, describing the conflict's impact on children and highlighting his team's efforts to provide trauma support. * On December 26, 2023, Marx posted from the Gaza border, stating that his ministry was providing "trauma-healing toys" to Israeli children affected by the war and asking for prayers for hostages held by Hamas. * On December 29, 2023, Marx published a social media post showing his visit to a Palestinian child receiving treatment in an Israeli hospital. In the post, he praised Israeli healthcare workers, condemned "evil Hamas" for using children to hide hostages, prayed for a swift end to the war, and called for "good Palestinian leadership that wants to live peacefully". * On the campaign trail in mid-2026, Marx characterized his work in the region as a high-risk faith mission, claiming that he was among the first non-governmental Americans to enter Gaza during the conflict.

### Rhetoric and lobbying * **Lobbying:** There is no record of Victor Marx participating in formal political lobbying or legislative advocacy regarding Israel. * **Rhetoric:** Throughout his 2026 gubernatorial campaign, Marx's rhetoric regarding Israel centered on his identity as a Christian minister and Marine veteran. In campaign speeches and interviews in mid-2026, he frequently referenced his travels to Israel and Gaza to demonstrate his moral resolve, physical courage, and readiness to lead.

### Safety and antisemitism * On August 2, 2026, local news outlets highlighted an attack graphic created by a local official depicting Marx's Democratic opponent, Attorney General Phil Weiser (who is Jewish and whose mother survived the Holocaust), with devil horns. After critics and news reports condemned the image as an antisemitic trope, Marx stated through a campaign representative on August 2, 2026, that he did not endorse depicting Weiser with horns, adding: "My focus has always been on ideas, truth, and respectful dialogue". News reports on August 5, 2026, noted that prior to the disavowal, Marx had engaged with a social media post featuring the graphic to call for Republican party unity. * On August 10, 2026, as part of his public safety platform emphasizing strict law enforcement and anti-socialist rhetoric, Marx drew media coverage after stating "send in the Marines" to counter rising socialist political organizations in Colorado.

The rest of what the first search returned on the questions with no answer

Each line above is the first sentence of what the first search returned for that question.

Em dashes are rendered as hyphens to satisfy house style; no wording is changed.

### U.S. military aid and weapons to Israel There is no public record of specific statements, policy proposals, or actions by Victor Marx regarding federal U.S. military aid or weapons transfers to Israel.
